Hong Kong and Fujian teamed up to hold a seminar in Dusseldorf, Germany to promote investment in the two places, with more than 80 executives attending.
The seminar, themed "Hong Kong & Fujian: Partners for Your China Strategy", was the first joint initiative by the two places to promote investment opportunities in the Pan-Pearl River Delta.
Leaders of the Hong Kong and Fujian delegations - Invest Hong Kong's Director-General of Investment Promotion Mike Rowse, and Fujian Provincial Department of Foreign Trade & Economic Cooperation Vice General-Director Yang Biao - encouraged German companies to explore the potential in the Pan-PRD region by investing in both places.
The Pan-PRD, which includes nine provinces and Hong Kong and Macau, is recognised as China's most affluent region. In 2004, one-third of China's GDP, about US$520 billion, was produced in Hong Kong, Fujian and the surrounding Pan-PRD region. The region has a total population of 450 million, representing 35% of China's total.
